    One of the worst things about trying to conceive is…you suddenly get ‘pregnancy symptoms’ every month which makes the negative test or show of your cycle so so painful 😣 thanks for your sharing your journey. Im sure it will bring comfort to others going through the same ❤️

    Hi Guys, third-year medical student here. I just want to thank you for sharing your fertility story. When seeing couples with fertility issues we just get a glimpse and not the full story behind everything that couples have been through. This series is very enlightening and a testament to your strength and love for one another. Your twins are very lucky to have you as parents. All the best, Hannah

    Thank you so much for posting this video. We went through this for 2 years before we found out we needed IVF. I cried as I watched your reactions to the negative tests. I'm 5 months pregnant now but the infertility trauma hasn't completely gone away. I remember the hope and heartbreak every month. It can be isolating. UA-cam videos, like yours, helped me feel less alone and more hopeful.

    My husband and I have diagnosed male infertility and have been trying for a year now with no success. Thankfully we got a headstart by testing as soon as we got married and started trying, I just always had this feeling that things wouldn't be easy and I was right.
    Congratulation on your twins, what an absolute blessing from God.
    I look forward to the rest of the series 🙏🏻

Normalising these things is the healthiest thing our generation is doing so that nobody feels alone in these things.

    Hello lovely couple and everyone watching. I'm commenting here to THANK YOU so much for speaking about ferti-lily in one of your videos. I got pregnant the first month of using it (after months of no success). I believe ferti-lily was the key to our success, I live outside of UK and it's not sold here where I live so I asked a friend in London to get it for me. I would've never known about ferti-lily if it wasn't for you guys. Thank you a million million million!!!

    • @fabandell
      @fabandell  2 роки тому +1

    I went through fertility problems it turned out my ex had lazy swimmer or weird shaped ones, I went through 3 years of trying which brought on depression & no one understood me. I ended up wanting to end my life & carried on & had ivf which failed but I fell pregnant straight after naturally , I had given up & knew this was killing me so needed to stop. My son is now 15 & cheeky but he won't really every understand how I couldn't take my eyes off him after giving birth. Enjoy being pregnant the both of u because its a wonderful time that your look bk on. luv your updates xxx

Long story short: now I’m trying to conceive with my current partner who is so loving and caring and he really wants to be a Dad as hard as I want to be a Mom. Please send me your blessings and prayers , and God bless us. Amen 🙏🏻

Ron went to get tested like Fab he was okay then it was my turn well it must have had an impact on me because I fell the next month and had a beautiful boy then 3 years later had a girl. I now have two wonderful grandsons of 24 and 27 so all ended well. Looking forward to the next vlog.❤️❤️❤️
